heh, that's not really a valid comparison though, because i don't care as much about a show stabbing me in the feels as i do about real people stabbing me with a real knife .

idk, i guess i don't really have trouble putting the shitty parts of things i like in the back of my mind when i'm busy enjoying the parts i like? it's like when i'm reading au canon divergence fic when character a is still alive. i know that a is dead, but i don't really care, because 'im too busy enjoying the fic. i feel the same when i watch a good episode of a show that's had some bad ones. i forget about the bad and focus on the good.
i guess it's harder to do that with an ending because it's the book end, the last thing you see when you finish the story, but i'm still able to "forget" about it.

[dreemyweird]

Well, you obviously don't have to feel the same way.

To me, "forgetting" things is not how consuming media works. Either I can enjoy a thing as a whole or I cannot. I can't pick and choose.

I don't know, maybe it's just a weird integrity hangup. To me, integrity of a fictional universe is one of the most important things ever. If it is disrupted, I'm noping out of it altogether. Perhaps it's because I'm a completionist?

[rubbertea]

i don't know, i'm quite the completionist as well, but we obviously don't have the same approach to media.
integrity is not that important to me. i mean, continuity and consistency are good things, but if they're a bit shaky, it's not a very big deal.
i guess i just have a very mellow approach to it. there's very little that could make me nope out of something.

[dreemyweird]

I thought that maybe it's because it makes the rational part of my brain feel very weird. It's like when someone's telling me a story and then they randomly make a break in order to read aloud a couple of pages of binary code. And I'm just left there going all wtf.

I can't really enjoy media that gets interrupted with random pieces of narrative white noise.

Plus, I'm not sure I entirely understand how people "disregard" things unless they are so extremely stressful that disregarding them is vital (that I can do). Whenever I try to, eh, disregard something, my brain goes "but how can you think that it didn't happen when it DID?" And again, it's sort of a logical error, a conflict between my perception and the reality. I can't have that.

[rubbertea]

well, you sound like a very logical person. i'm not, though, or not as much. my brain doesn't freak out when i tell it to stop thinking about stuff for a while. it just shrugs and plays along.

[dreemyweird]

yeahhh I'm a bit obsessed with making sense out of everything :/

But yes, that's more or less how it works. IDK if it is understandable, but I guess there are other people like me. (probably not many, admittedly).

[dancing_serpent]

I'm definitely like you in that regard. All your comments in this particular conversation could have been mine.
